CodeIgniter from Scratch: Day 8 – AJAX

Oh, it’s sad to see Jeffrey go from these tut’s, they were (still are) so good. Will give this a good watch later.

Is Jeffrey coming back?

Love this serie ! happy that it’s back once again :D

Great tutorials and good series for learning codeigniter
thanks

Definitely going to miss Jeff on this one, however understandably a very busy guy.

Good work Burak, maybe liven it up a bit?

OMG!!

Please Burak don’t stop this series again…

Thankyou!

Smashing Magazine yesterday had an article related to developing AJAX solutions. One of their methods of detecting a jQuery AJAX request uses the header that jQuery sends along when it makes the request:

if($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']==’XMLHttpRequest’){
This is content requested by AJAX.
}

This tutorial is horrible i’ve been jQuering for months and using jQuery’s ajax functions very well.

This is just horrible.

Good tut Burak, I dont know Ajax or Jquery but will try to learn it through tuts like this.

You do however need to learn to open and close programs real fast like Jeffery did, keeps us on our toes. :)

Burak has cold??

Meanwhile a nice tut,

Awesome!

Ah, Thanks Burak, Jeffrey Way seems to be busy these days ;)

Wow its been a long time …. no sign of Jeff but its cool ,,
thanks Burak ,

NO MORE CODE IGNITOR TUTORIALS
@enatom , why?

finally :-)
I have been waiting for ages for the next day :-)

Please show us how to use components from the Zend-framework.

WOW! We all were waiting for this. Thanks a lotttttttttttt.

Burak, thanks for the screencast. I’ll watch it today. Nice move, Jeffrey, to let Burak continue the series, smart move in this troubled times for NetTuts :)

I have 2 questions, though, for Burak: Do the messages set in the validation rules appear back when the form is submitted? I tried once to combine jQuery AJAX with CI. It was a form with form_validation rules. It didn’t work for me then.

And another: It is possible to have ONE controller to send back a message to the same view if the form in the view was submitted successfully? I mean, if the form is sent correctly, I don’t want to load another view, just put a message above the form: SUBMITTED.

yay! happy to see this series come back to live!
Keep de CI tuts coming!

Hey Burak, really enjoyed the Tutorial, could you go a step a head and show us how to put the contact message in the database. I would really appreciate.

Good Work Mate!

Good tutorials but I prefer Jeffrey’s voice !

Just a few tips:

1. Instead of relying on javascript to check if it’s an ajax request you could just use this in the controller:
if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) AND strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) === ‘xmlhttprequest’))
{
//ajax request
}

2. instead of manually passing the values($(‘#name’).val()) you could save in a variable the serialized form.
var data = $(‘form’).serialize();

The array key passed back would be the name attribute of each input field.

3. You don’t need to use php in javascript to have the url. Simply save in a variable the action attribute of the form.

var url = $(‘form’).attr(‘action’)

Regards.

YEAH…Good work Burak,keep `em commin’ :)

Really great work

Thanks for the tutorial, great work.

Which PHP plugin do you use for Aptana?
